aftermarket 5er jack pins (the easy to use, snap spring loaded style)

after owning my first 5th wheel for a few months now, there is not a very close bond between me and the front jacks. i cannot stand the dumb pins that are in there. i can never line things up, you need to get down on your knees, and half the time it seems like you need 3 hands to run the operation.

after a little research i found these. has anyone used these, and have feedback on them?

I agree, but thankfully my unit came with spring loaded pins. They are great. I would recommend upgrading to them as well.
